“But I am afraid we must face the likelihood that he [Shakespeare] wrote bawdy, not because the audience insisted on it, nor his fellow actors, nor even the aristocratic followers of his work, but just because it amused him.”

— 

John Berryman (via howtotalktogirlsdialectically)]

#more than once I have laughed thinking about what Shakespeare would make of the elitism that surrounds his work #he’d hate it but he’d also think it was hilarious that his eloquent vehicles for penis jokes have become high-culture
